Thus far, then, the indications are that
the great issues upon which the battle of
1888 will be fought are tariff taxation and
sectionalism. The Republicans will favor
such taxation as shall yield largely re,
dundant revenue, to be expended on liberal
subsidies "tO build up an American ma
rine" and on other extravagant projects;
while the Democrats will be committed to
such a reduction of taxation as shall have
revenue sufficient only for an "economi.

The one means extravagance-waste, rich
pickings and gorgeous lobby. The other
economy, simplicity, severe honesty and
rigid accountability.
Again, the Republicans bring out anew
the "bloody shirt" against the unhappy

Those who have been wont to raise the
cry OF free whiskey' against every propos
al to repeal the raX on distilled spirits have
no longer any legitimate ground for this
objection. Ii is entirely feasible to tax
whisky sufficiently,a at the point of consump-
ton instead of production, and gather u
handsome revenue for state and local treas.
uries. The successful work of the high.
license laws, which are growing every year
into more and more favor, proves this.
Takerhe United States tax off malt and
spirituous liquors and the states can i'm
mediately divert the revenue into their
own treasures which Is now paid to the
United States. Freed from internal taxes
on their liquors the saloons could pay a
high license tax. With this transfer of the
point of taxation upon intoxicants the al
cohol used in the arts and in the prepare

should.-Philadelphia Press.
A reduction of the sugar tariff by one
